CHINA--PROVINCIAL BANKS. Peiyang Tientsin Bank. 10 Taels, ND (ca. 1910). P-S2524r. Remainder. PMG About Uncirculated 50.
(S/M#P35-4) Printed by BWC. A sought after high denomination in this outstanding vertical format series and one that shows with absolutely radiant color throughout. The note is with a deep red bordering design that houses a detailed harbor vignette at lower center and brilliant blue facing dragons with red pearl of wisdom between. Portrait of Li Hung Chan is at upper center and the overall format is slightly larger than that of the Five Tael note. A terrific rayed under printing extends to the borders of the note and the effect truly is remarkable. A back design is seen printed in orange and blue with highly intricate lathe work throughout. Some minor indications of handling, but otherwise a beautiful example and surely worthy of being an addition to a significant collection.
Estimate: $6000.00- $8000.00
